Product Description:
The iED01 features a great selection of 233 realistic, natural drum sounds, offered both in dry form and sampled with our incomparable digitalreverbs. Our exclusive Dynamic Articulation feature enables a drum sound to change its tonal content as it's played harder for truly realistic performances. The IED01 features 50 preset patterns with enough built-in rhythmic variations (with A, B and two Fill sections) for composing complete arrangements, and creating and saving your own customized patterns and songs. Plug the headphones, included in the kit, right into the headphone jack for discrete practicing. Plus, the IED01 also provides complete MIDI implementation, flexible programming and editing features and velocity-sensitive pad buttons.
Amazon.com Product Description:
Equipped with everything you need to play drums right out of the box, the Ion iED01 electronic drum set is ideal for beginning or intermediate drummers. The pads range from a single snare pad and two tom-tom pads to a cymbal pad and a high-hat pad, each of which sounds crisp and powerful. The kick drum and open high-hat foot switches, meanwhile, help drummers lay down a solid rhythm. The pads and switches are coordinated by the iDM01 drum machine, which delivers 233 natural drum sounds and 50 preset rhythm patterns to keep things interesting. And thanks to the exclusive Dynamic Articulation function, the harder a drummer pounds, the more the tone changes, resulting in a truly realistic performance.
Drummers will also dig the pair of headphones, which let players perfect their chops in privacy (a must for small homes or apartments), and the auxiliary output cables, which connect directly to a stereo or PA system for seriously loud drumming. The kit also comes with a single set of drumsticks and all the necessary cables, and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
What's in the Box
One snare drum pad, two tom-tom pads, one cymbal pad, one high-hat pad, one kick-drum foot switch, one open high-hat foot switch, one set of drum sticks, one iDM01 drum machine, and headphones.

Background: I am a guitar player of about 33 years. I decided to try drums for the first time in my life. I didn't want to spend a fortune so I opted for this set despite the reviews. I am pleased that I am actually a half decent drummer! I guess the ability to keep time combined with the previous music knowledge helps.
The sound quality of this system is really pretty good and I was pleased for a few days.. Then the pedals started acting up. I would get two, three even four hits on the bass and hi hat occasionally! This made the unit unplayable to me. I did see a video on youtube where a guy put some capacitors in the pedals to cure the problem but I feel that you shouldn't have to work on a brand new product to make t useable, so back to Amazon it went. It would be great if Ion would just address this problem and raise the price accordingly to make this set usable.

These are a joke! You'd be better off to buy a $100 Yamaha drum pad. These drums are cheap, flimsy, sometimes the hit will sound, sometimes it won't. These will just frustrate you, save your money! I've already resold mine on ebay at a loss.

I looked over the reviews from 3 years back until now. Lots of complaints could be perpetrated by the customers themselves........
1. Plastic thumbscrews fall apart....seems that they have been replaced
by metal ones.
2. Drumbsticks broke after 10 minutes.......I am 6'5'', 300 lbs with a
36" waist and a third degree black belt. I beat on these drums everday
and have been for the last month.....nothing has broke.....must be
using those sticks to pry open dads liquor cabinet.
3. Drum pads drop down after continuous play.....the bracketry is plastic
however some ingenuity could prevail here....maybe spray some spray
adhesive to make it grip better, again I have no problem.
4. Complaint about he kick drum pedal echoing...has not happened to me
but there is a .pdf document for the adjustment of the pedals..maybe
has to do with that effect.
5. Complaints of the controller failing.......Have ... Read More

Bought this for my 10 year old grandson. I was willing to pay $500 for a real Ludwig drum set but we have no room for a real set and 'settled' for this. We could not be more satisfied. It is hooked into my son's fancy home theater system and it sounds just like a real drum set. Don't think twice, buy it for you or a loved one!

Non-musicians who just get this as a noise-making toy for their kids may be satisfied until the kids destroy it (which I suspect will happen in short order, as it is very fragile and poorly designed), but it simply is junk to any adult drummer who wants it for any serious purpose.
I did not expect much, just something to trigger MIDI control data to software drum synths when recording, but this mess couldn't even do that reliably, though it claims to be able to. The MIDI control is buggy and flawed, _vide infra_.
All of the complaints mentioned in other reviews so far are 100% valid, so I won't list them again -- the list is too long. I would add that the heads are rock-hard and their piezo senders are fragile and produce very weak output.
As low as my expectations were for this thing, it fell far, far short of the minimum acceptable function and was a TOTAL waste of money. It does NOT perform its listed functions properly as has been explained ... Read More
